Healthier Campus Initiative • Partnership For A Healthier America

About the Healthier Campus Initiative

Going off to college signals a time of newfound independence for young adults who are suddenly able to make all of their own choices. The health habits students form during these years can last a lifetime.

Recognizing the importance of this window of time, PHA partnered with colleges and universities across the nation to create campus environments that encourage building healthy habits. PHA developed the guidelines in collaboration with some of the nation’s leading nutrition, physical activity, and campus wellness experts. Each college or university partner committed to meeting 23 of 41 guidelines within three years.

Healthier Campus Initiative continues to provide 41 evidence-based guidelines and new elearning modules now offered by Continuum Solutions LLC. Learn more about the Healthier Campus Initiative.

340,000 Pell Grant recipients were reached through PHA's Healthier Campus Initiative
